If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Petite-Ile. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
